Restaurant With Record of No Hot Water and Live Roaches in Same Building as the Department of Business and Professional Regulation

A restaurant with a history of violations and (and one violation still ongoing) is operating in the same building as the government entity that inspects it!

Kalib's Kafe (Website) has had 13 complaint-based* inspections in 2 years. It currently has no hot water for its employees to wash their hands with and the public restrooms the employees use runs at 78 degrees.

In October the bid for the hot water plumbing work was still not approved.

On December 2, is was noted that there still was no hot water provided at the restrooms. The report says "Work still not approved by DMS."

We've reached out to DBPR for comment.

*A Complaint Full inspection is a complete inspection conducted as result of a complaint received by the division. If the inspector arrives at the establishment and determines that it is due for a routine inspection, the inspector has the option of performing a "Complaint Full" inspection.
